Wagyu Sukiyaki Soshiji, one of the brands in FTG Company's network of 130 restaurants in Japan and overseas, is adding a seasonal "Tororo Sukiyaki" menu at all of its locations from August 15 (Saturday) through September 30 (Wednesday), 2026.
The Appeal of the Seasonal Tororo Sukiyaki Menu
Why Tororo
Tororo, or grated mountain yam, is a classic summer ingredient known for soothing a body worn down by the heat. Along with its smooth, easy-to-swallow texture, it contains the digestive enzyme diastase and vitamin B1, which are also valued for helping with fatigue recovery and warding off summer fatigue.
Tororo Sukiyaki
This seasonal twist on sukiyaki balances the sweet and savory notes of Soshiji's signature broth with the light, airy texture of grated tororo. The tororo is grated fresh after each order is placed.
The Naka-Meguro and Azabu-Juban locations began early sales of the dish on August 11 (Tuesday), and customers have said things like, "I'm not usually a fan of fatty cuts, but wrapped in tororo, the richness of the wagyu fat feels light and refreshing."

Two seasonal à la carte dishes are also available alongside the Tororo Sukiyaki, so diners can enjoy seasonal vegetables too: juicy, tender mizunasu eggplant sashimi and a simple okra ohitashi that lets the vegetable's texture shine, both capturing the taste of summer. A wide selection of wine, sake, and whisky is also available, making them a good match as a summer side dish too.
Making Sukiyaki Easier to Enjoy in a Hot Summer
"Even after the calendar marks the start of autumn, Japan's summers stay hot well into the season. We wanted to create a sukiyaki dish that fits the summer, so we developed this menu. To keep it delicious down to the last bite, we worked on the balance between the tororo and the broth so the tororo doesn't scorch in the pot," said a member of Soshiji's product development team.
Sukiyaki tends to be avoided in the summer — which is exactly why this seasonal menu was created.
